This work is fully descriptive OF the kin.
dergarten schools Of San Francisco and It's
environs. 1t abounds In most valuable In
formation, exceeding interest, and great
suggestiyeness. Many incidents are re-
lated of the little pupils, their wants, their
attainments, and the magical effect Of the
kind manner Of their instruction. Mrs.
Leland Stanford is the honorary president
and Mrs. Sarah b. Cooper the president,
followed by long list Of officers. Among
the directors are Hon. and Mrs. Leland
Stanford, Mrs. Stanford being also the
leading member OF the executive commit
tee. We quote the few following SEN
tences: "Seven years ago there was but
one free kindergarten on the Pacific coast.
There are now about forty In San
Francisco and enylrons. Eight Of
the free kindergartens are sustained by
Mrs. Leland Stanford. Mrs. George Hearst
and Miss Crocker each sustains kinder
garten: Lady Hesketh, through a gift
from the Sharon estate, also sustains one
Others are sustained by private subscrip-
tions and donations. Several have been
organized by churches, and are considered
q part OF the church work. There
are over 1000 children In the forty free
kindergartens above named. - Mrs.
Leland Stanford has devoted over 500, 900
to the sustaining Of free kindergartens for
needy little children"
"As the kindergarten is the very basis Of
technical and industrial education, Mrs.
Stanford has made study Of II, In connec-
tion with the great plans contemplated by
the Leland Stanford, jr.,. University: The
necessity OF unfolding the minds Of little
children through their senses rather than
dwaffing them through the meaningless
repetition Of mere words, is coming TO be
felt more and more by all thoughtful edu.
Gators. II is the aim of the kindergarten
to make men and women who will be self
governing and thus be law unto them
selves-men and women who will succeed
by their own skill and industry"
Mrs. Stanford loves the little children.
She delights to visit them, and distribute lit
tie tokens OF love with her own hands. The
portrait Of Leland Stanford, jr., occupies
prominent place In each kindergarten D.,
and the little ones are taught to cherish the
memory Of their beloved benefactor. Flow
ers, fresh and fragrant, always adorn the
beautiful pictures. Notices, appropriate aud
suggestive, hang underneath the portrait.
Our loved Benefactor,i 1T ia not the will

"All honor, then, to her who has been
foremost In the formation and mainten-
ance Of the kindergartens OF San Francisco
and environs-Mrs. Leland Stanford"
